Earlier today, NET issued the following statement: “A technical fault with a pantograph on a tram has damaged overhead lines near our Basford stop earlier this morning.

“Engineers are currently working to repair the damage and this will unfortunately have a knock on effect to services.

“Currently, trams from Toton Lane and Clifton South are turning at The Forest, whilst trams from Hucknall and Phoenix Park are turning at David Lane. A shuttle bus service is in operation between The Forest, Wilkinson Street, Bulwell Bus Station and Phoenix Park.
